According to the Sunday Mirror:
HEADS SOPHIE WINS
BIG Brother's Sophie Pritchard is set to emerge as one of the show's real winners after landing a sensational modelling offer.
The 25-year-old brunette is likely to pocket in the region of £70,000 as a new face of Head & Shoulders.
The recruitment consultant from Marlow, Bucks will follow in the footsteps of Friends star Courtney Cox, 38, to appear in the brand's adverts. The shampoo giant turned to Sophie despite the fact she spent only four weeks in the BB house. And the offer comes after reports Playboy magazine wanted her to pose for them for £25,000.
A Big Brother insider said last night: "This just shows what the exposure can do for you. She is a lovely looking girl and that really came across on TV. I don't suppose turning up to the final show and the parties looking gorgeous did her much harm either."
Sophie's father, Morris, said: "I'm not sure she will do the Playboy thing, but I am really proud of Sophie. This offer is great news and I am sure she will do really well out of Big Brother. If she had stayed in the house any longer the whole idea would have got stale."
Sophie is now working for Channel 4 morning show RI:SE as their Ibiza reporter.
She is set to appear in the shampoo adverts later in the year if the deal goes through.
Sophie was drafted into Big Brother on June 2 as a replacement for Sunita Sharma, 25, who walked out in the first week.

Two phrases make me a bit cautious about this story:
The first is 'a BB insider' ........ (say no more!)
and the second is '..if the deal goes through'.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see but, whatever happens, I wish Sophie all the best for the future - she had a rough time of it in the house.
